The $3 billion in fines Wells Fargo paid versus the multiple billions it made from 2002-2015. The bank has almost $2 trillion in assets as of 2020.

No, worse. Cowards. Entirely too many see the SEC as a pathway to a high-paying job on Wall Street. You learn the ins and outs of compliance and go from a GS-8 - GS-13 making $70,000 - $150,000 a year, to making $1 million a year helping these banks, hedge funds, and other investors sidestep regulations by the most narrow of line-toeing.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Modern web development done correctly can help: Pages are generated in the server, no JavaScript required. If you start with a PWA mentality, then your application/site is progressive and you should cover everyone; or almost.

However:

1- Progressive is expensive. You'll need more time as you need to sort what features can work; and work your way up to the full experience. The full experience, however, is what you are getting paid for (or showing). Unless the client or the company cares about these categories, you don't want to expend budget on that.

2- Web development is becoming complicated. You can get started quickly with Nextjs/Gatsby thanks to "DX"(Developer Experience). The reality is that you don't understand much of what's going on behind the surface and if you bootcamp-ed your way in 3 months, you probably have no idea what's going on. But it works!

Sometimes we do! It hasn’t exactly made me popular. But I generally like what Apple’s selling (apart from obvious ethical issues in their supply chain and by some accounts also in their company culture). I’m also pretty invested in the ecosystem though, I have been mostly Apple since I bought my first computer (first gen G4), and grew up with Macs in the house as far back as the IIvx, so I’ve even been through all of the platform transitions except the current one (I’m not working and can’t justify the expense, but I will eventually).

The total market cap of GME is about $25bn at today's prices. That doesn't seem beyond the ability of retail. There's a lot of people with $10-100K to play with: rich but not mega rich.

That's true, but finra will have a record of who sent the orders, so the SEC etc can trawl through the data and see.

I actually think WSB likely didn't do it completely alone. Plenty of hedge funds watch WSB. RobinHood sells the data too so I'd be surprised if it was a solo effort.
I haven't done any math on this but I suspect it could be possible that the sweet spot height of noise mitigation might be close to intersecting with the anti sweet spot of maximum damage from a fall/dropped payload.

When I talk about duck typing, I'm talking more about getattr and hasattr (explicit or implicit) rather than the everything-is-an-object structure under the hood. For example, you can invoke "foo()" on any thing no matter the type, and it'll work so long as you have "foo()" declared for the instance. You can't do that in many "OO-heavy" languages like C++ or Java. The advantage here is that in Python you don't have to explicit interfaces and base classes in order to achieve polymorphism.

You make a good point though-- the "duck typing" stuff is actually a consequence of Python using objects. Interesting: the "duck typing" paradigm should be able to be ported to other languages like Java then...
In particular, it's hard to see a short squeeze as market manipulation, which is why nobody has been penalized for it.

What is a hedge fund except more explicit coordination of many people's money on a much greater scale? The classic example of Porsche's squeeze on VW stock was Porsche's management coordinating many people's pooled assets.

>The expectation is that investment is done to derive ownership of something with actual value.

Since this started with a hedge fund shorting 140% of a company, I tend to disagree.
Shit. You wrote a naked call on GME today? That’s insane. Even if you think you know what your doing. This is the steam roller. And you’re the guy picking up the penny in front of it.

But, the premiums can be pretty juicy.

Looking at the 29Jan 320 Call options, if you were good, and called today’s top. Then you could’ve wrote the call at 145. Then held it for 90 mins, when it bottomed out at 89. Netting you a cool $56 per contract.

If you wrote 1 contract on this play, then 56 x 1 x 100 = $5600.

So, $5600 of net profit in 90 minutes. If you’re lucky. It’s best to have a large war chest to play this strategy.

But, if you’re unlucky, then a short squeeze can even happen during normal trading hours, and it would probably wipe you out.

You can call the wrong top, and the spreads are so wide, that the loss is heavier to exit the position.

And if you ran this strategy yesterday, at a lower price point, and held it overnight, then you would’ve been wiped out this morning, when the stock spiked in overnight off-market trading. So it’s best to keep this strategy to a daytrade.

I don’t recommend this strategy to anyone. The odds of you consistently calling the top, correctly, all the time, is very low.

And the crazy phenomenon going on right now, is that the retail traders, are somewhat collectively operating like a hive mind. Whether they can really succeed to achieve their objective of hitting $1000/share, remains to be seen. But, I’m not going to challenge this one, at this time.
Exactly. Anyone can see through the mealy-mouthed ban explanation.
Can someone explain how we're supposed to believe WSB can move the market that much? I mean, it's up against hedge funds etc with literal billions and we're supposed to believe a bunch of people on Robinhood can go against those higher power and cause them some inconvenience?

The volume for GME today was like 89,734,235 vs an average of 24M . How does "retail" traders can keep the stock up 100% from the previous day for the second or third day running?
And the stock went up 100% from close during after hours yesterday, and that is not retail traders.

My guess is this means the mods will probably create a minimum Reddit karma amount required to post and/or comment. The goal to cut down on spam and bots.

FWIW, my issue with using divs is not that they should never be used as buttons. It's that few people who use them that way go to the effort of doing it correctly. It's absolutely possible to do it right and have a functioning/ accessible js button.

Either go the full way and do it right—with accessibility—or just style the standard components. In most cases the latter is the easiest way to go if you care about getting it right.
Any examples? Very interesting.
You are certainly right for many participating in this short squeeze. But collectively this short squeeze is undeniable proof that what's good for the goose is not good for the gander. The hedge funds play by a separate set of rules from the rest of us.
I meant as a field of research. Obviously the concept of an open set, etc., remain foundational.
hmm, it's not obvious (to me!) in the single-line case, but that might be because of the high-frequency noise that makes the derivative sort of random.
I have a Samsung smart TV from mid-2017 and it does not appear to be broadcasting a visible SSID, nor a hidden one. Presumably that has changed in the past couple of years?

if it remains in that terribly insecure state by default until you give it a connection to a network, unfortunately the only thing to do might be to give it the password to a $20 mikrotik wifi router (in a 20MHz 2.4GHz channel) as an AP, so as to not pollute the empty radio channel spectrum in your house, that has no connection to the outside world. What an ugly hack.

Or give it the password to a secondary ssid set up on your main wifi, that goes to a dead end VLAN with no route to anywhere.

That’s a fascinating take on macOS. Which just had a major release with significant changes in the reported quarter. Unless I’m mistaken it still installs compilers and third party apps just fine, the only “general” thing you can’t do anymore is modify system internals as extensively. Which seems pretty good for security, and not especially meaningful in terms of freedom unless you’re a fanatic.

On the call, he mentioned hedge fund's unfair practices to take down businesses based on their shorts.

But imagine retail investors doing this out of sentiment, a la Facebook. It is even scarier and more sinister.

Thieves robbing thieves, it is best to stay out if you have ethics.
TLDR the crumbs noticed some major shorts put in by big hedge fund so they started buying up the stock to drive up the value causing the hedge fund to risk losing multiple billions of dollars on the short, it went viral and here we are. Don’t quote me on this but I think the shorts “activate” on Friday.

>after-hours aren't going through the "markets", but through Electronic Communication Networks (ECNs)

I wasn't aware of all the differences, but I think another more abstract answer to the question of "why not 24/7" is that the whole point of a "market" is to bring people together to trade, and 24/7 would reduce liquidity.

I remember reading that volume is very much not evenly distributed through the day so one might ask why not reduce the hours instead, have like an hour to trade in the morning and an hour in the afternoon...
It wasn't David vs. Goliath. CNBC, Financial Times, WSJ, etc. can't tell you what it really was, because they're beholden to all these Wall Street types. They don't get stories unless their relationships are cordial.

This was arrogant idiot billionaires vs. autistic retards of the Internet, and the arrogant billionaires in this case (Melvin Capital) had the chance to walk away when they got their $2.75 billion capital injection. They could have closed their position out and taken a relatively moderate loss compared to the total destruction of the fund that they're going to be facing in two days.

The reason no one on CNBC is framing it that way, is because while Melvin Capital is the face of the short sellers, a lot of people piled on after Melvin Capital, but no one else piled on with the level of idiocy they did. So if you actually call it like it is, and remind everyone that a 139% short on a company is literally the most fucking retarded thing in finance ever, then you incur the wrath of a lot of wealthy people who are pieces of shit and will use their money as weapon.

The problem is, the arrogant idiot billionaires have been assfucking not only the American people, but a good portion of the world for so long, that they're not used to someone spitting in their face, so they doubled-down. Unfortunately for them, they forgot that when you go up against the Internet as a collective, you always... always lose. No one fights the Internet and wins.

And they're going to learn that this Friday.
If anything the risk goes the other way. If the SEC construes the Discord as being responsible for a pump-and-dump scheme, then it's facing legal attention. Even if it's not a pump-and-dump scheme, there are going to be comments there that can potentially be made to look like one to a judge.
That's pretty much what happened when they studied it, interestingly enough: http://comp.social.gatech.edu/papers/cscw18-chand-hate.pdf
Personally I feel like the fix for terminals is not to use them. Emacs for example has a lot of effort put into supporting various different terminals and efficiently displaying text. Some xterm-specific support is for many colours, mouse support, and the control codes to ask xterm to send more precise key escape sequences so TAB and C-i aren’t confused for example. It also has a gui which doesn’t need to pile on layers of hacks and works great so long as you don’t need to go through a terminal (eg running over ssh.) And yet it is still straddled with backwards compatibility from those days (some users expect TAB and C-i to do the same thing.)

To me it feels silly to put a lot of effort into supporting things better in terminal emulators because they are not as flexible as actual user interfaces and I think the main reasons we still have them are historical.

Aside: I’d also like to see a command line shell which runs outside the terminal emulator rather than inside it.

Truly pure oxygen won't burn, it needs fuel. So, what would probably happen is it would burn super bright for a split second as the match itself was consumed, and then extinguish itself as it has no more fuel.

They didn’t have any conferences planned in the next few months. Normally they have a battery day and an AI day they drop bombs that aren’t release day worthy.

I'm not sure I entirely buy that.

Here come the deplatforming (again). This time /r/wsb is the 'enemy'. Media reports it and causes the paper hands to panic; This is what the large short sellers want.

For the tech platforms, the mainstream media, social media, etc they might as well ban every single person off of the internet at this point.

As for GME, just put on your diamond-grade hands for once and hold until Friday's squeeze.
